In The Classroom

Marcus' eyes get tired very quickly when he is reading. He has to hold the paper really close to his face. In class, he finds it harder to read if the writing is all in capital letters, if the print is too small or too smudgy, or the paper is grey or coloured.

Marcus needs to use his monocular to read the whiteboard. It is very hard to read if the teacher uses an old, faded, coloured texta. A new black texta is much easier to read. He often finds it tiring to write notes because he has to look up, focus the monocular, then look down again without it.

Marcus prefers to read big, black, lower case letters on a clean, white background. He uses his magnifier for small print but his teacher often blows things up for him on the photocopier.

Kaboom!
